And i would love to see you take your blinders off and get your head out of the sand...... Once you get a thought in your head i have noticed that you refuse to look at any other possibilities than your possibility.
You saw kanter play last season and determined that he is garbage and we should get rid of him. I am open to that being a possibility.
I am also open to the possibility that the kanter we saw last year might be MUCH different from the kanter that we see in the future due to coaching change, scheme changes, a change in his role, a more consistent role, a healthy offseason, better teammates, more maturity, more experience etc etc etc.
Maybe kanter will never be very good. There is a definate chance of that. It would be nice if you would listen just a little bit to your fellow jazzfanz though as well and just consider the fact that you might actually be wrong for the first time in your life.
I never said Kanter wouldn't improve. I never said context doesn't matter. I never said the Jazz should "get rid of him".
The "young potential allure" Franklin mentioned is pretty relevant here. Fans tend to think their young players' potential is limitless, and that any poor play or lack of growth can be blamed on minutes, role, system, coach, injury, baby mamma drama, etc. I haven't made a study of this, and I've only been a Jazz fan since 2003, but it seems to me that on-court play is the best predictor of future performance. With that said, if you can explain
how Kanter's play/growth was negatively affected more than Burks' play/growth by his minutes, role, the system and Ty, and
how another coach, role and system will make a difference for Kanter in particular, I'm incredibly interested. Providing examples of players who made huge strides only after a coaching change would also be useful. I don't think "because Corbin" is a valid argument by itself. Is it not just as likely that Kanter could play even worse under a new coach? Why/why not?
As for the rest of your post: In a discussion, I generally state what I think, and try to support it with relevant facts and observations. Of course I could be wrong. Would you prefer I add that disclaimer in all my posts? What purpose would that serve?
